Spamming

What's with these spamming attacks, they seem to getting worse as well. Is this a spiteful theistic revenge for having an atheist leaning forum in the US? It seems relentless these days. What on earth do people get from this kind of puerile disruption anyway?

This seems like a lot of trouble to go to just to annoy strangers, or am I overestimating how difficult it is to open new accounts and automate this kind of sustained spamming?

Yeah, I'm with you, Sheldon.

Yeah, I'm with you, Sheldon. It would be interesting to know what (if anything) the spammers gain with their petty annoyances. I can just picture a couple of them in their mommy's basement slapping each other on the back, high-fiving, and telling each other, "Heck yes! We really annoyed the flip out of those golly-dang atheist pickle-eaters tonight!"......"Mom! Bring us some more Red Bull!"

Are you talking about the

Are you talking about the Baba Ji love voodoo guy?
That's not theistic based. He spams on a music forum that I visit as well as two different MMO forums. Someone on one of the game forums actually called the number just to see. The guy on the other end kept asking for a credit card before he said he could "help" the caller, but the caller just kept talking and asking question til eventually Baba Ji hung up. :D

Thank you for that, so his

Thank you for that, so his motive unsurprisingly is financial gain. My next question is are people really stupid enough to offer him the requested remuneration? Though I think that should probably be rhetorical.

I don't if It has sth to do with the type of forum, but I'm pretty sure this is one of the worst sites for their kind of business.

So sorry, folks. The spam script is not kicking in for some reason. Am having to deal with these jackasses manually. Doing the best I can. Please bear with us.

I would love to be able to help with the problem. Unfortunately, I am incredibly computer-illiterate. And about the only thing I know how to do with Spam is fry it and put it on a sandwich with mayo and mustard.

Until the spammer can be

Until the spammer can be stopped automatically, perhaps the answer would be to form a team of spam-scrubbers covering as many time zones as possible. I'm sure there'd be plenty of volunteers among the regulars.

Don't know what he thought he

Don't know what he thought he was going to get out of advertising voodoo black magic on an atheist website, but Baba Ji must be very quick at simple maths after that

I'm glad the mods finally got rid of him. I was running out of coins in my coin jar. You know, half those phone numbers don't even work.

The cretin seems to be

The cretin seems to be actively monitoring our posts. Any country that is mentioned in a post will get its own version of the baba guru flim-flam love magic crap. I referred to New Zealand a few days ago, and sure enough it popped up in the garbage posts.

Nippon, Zhongguo, North Korea, Azerbaijan, Wankerland (the spammer's own nation).

+91 is India's country code

+91 is India's country code and those ass holes are Indians. It's what Indian youngsters do for killing time spamming, harassing females on Internet or in real life because they are job less. The assumed number of jobless in India is 30 Crores and every year 2 crores jobless join them. And that's why Indians use Internet to kill this free time...

Setting up bots to do this

Setting up bots to do this sort of thing is quite easy unfortunately.

There are ways to stop them but they require sacrifices in ease of forum communication and accessibility. Consider them the price of high accessibility.

I note another attack is underway. Pathetic seems oddly insufficient a pejorative for the sad fecker doing this.

Of course it is automated.

Of course it is automated. Automated Spam has been around for at least 20 years.

What rock have you been living under?

Do not worry, the bandwidth

Do not worry, the bandwidth use is quite minimal. I imagine even 10 years of bots fighting bots on this site would equal about a minute of HD video streaming in total.

Ofcourse the number of connections made by the various bots that ties up the gateway to this site is noticeable.
